How Much Will California Pediatric Practices Save By Outsourcing Full RCM To Transcure?
Outsourcing allows a pediatric practice to replace an entire internal revenue cycle team with one predictable fee, Transcure’s 5% of collected revenue. This eliminates the fixed burden of salaries, benefits, software, training, and ongoing management while improving reimbursement speed and reducing denials.
According to Glassdoor, a conservative in-house RCM setup for a pediatric clinic includes a medical biller ($48k), medical coder ($58k), and 0.5 FTE revenue cycle manager ($60k). Plus 30% benefits, and $6k in software/overhead, totals about $222,000 per year. For a practice collecting $500,000 annually, Transcure’s fee is only $25,000, delivering an estimated $197,000 in yearly savings.

How Transcure Fixes the Payer-Denial Problem Draining Pediatric Revenue In California
Many pediatric claims get denied because of age-specific coding, bundling, and modifier errors. This is especially the case when well-child visits, immunizations, and developmental screenings are combined incorrectly under a single claim. In practices with high volume and mixed payers (Medicaid, CHIP, private insurers), such coding mistakes repeatedly trigger denials or underpayment.
By outsourcing to Transcure, you get pediatric-specialist coders who know California’s payer rules by heart. They apply correct age- and service-specific modifiers, separate bundled services properly, and audit each claim before submission. This dramatically lowers denial risk and allows for full reimbursement on complex pediatric visits.
Which Pediatric-Friendly EHRs Does Transcure Support?
Transcure works with 32+ pediatric-compatible EHR and practice management systems, enabling California pediatric practices to outsource billing without disrupting their workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How should I code when a well-child visit, immunization, and sick visit occur on the same day?
Use separate preventive and problem visit coding; document medical necessity and apply modifier 25 when appropriate to avoid bundling denials.
Does California require reporting administered vaccines to CAIR, and by when?
Yes. All administered doses, both private and public stock, must be reported to CAIR within 72 hours with inventory reconciliation.
How do EPSDT rules affect billing for screenings and developmental services?
EPSDT covers comprehensive screenings up to age 21, documents findings, and medical necessity to ensure Medi-Cal reimbursement.
Why do pediatric claims get denied more often than adult claims?
Higher denials stem from vaccine-billing errors, frequent Medicaid rule changes, and age-specific coding or modifier mistakes across payers.
